Exclusive: The grandmaster returns in new Ip Man 3 BTS featurette and poster

The tale of Wing Chun grandmaster Yip Man continues in IP MAN 3, with Donnie Yen returning to fill the hard-hitting fists of the man who taught Bruce Lee. Although Yen had previously said that IP MAN 2 was going to be his final appearance as the grandmaster, it seems as though he couldn't resist returning to complete the story for one final film in director Wilson Yip's IP MAN trilogy. If the promise of more explosive martial arts isn't enough to get you excited, IP MAN 3 will feature Donnie Yen taking on Mike Tyson. Yes, that Mike Tyson. Colour me curious.

Check out JoBlo's exclusive behind-the-scenes clip for IP MAN 3 below, as well as a brand new poster!

A synopsis for IP MAN 3:

Donnie Yen ignites the screen in a return to his iconic role of Ip Man, the real-life Wing Chun Kung Fu master who mentored Bruce Lee. In this explosive third installment of the blockbuster martial arts series, when a band of brutal gangsters led by a crooked property developer (Mike Tyson) make a play to take over the city, Master Ip is forced to take a stand. Fists will fly as some of the most incredible fight scenes ever filmed play out on the big screen in this soon-to-be classic of the genre.

IP MAN 3 will be released in Hong Kong on December 24, 2015, but will see a U.S. release on January 22, 2016.
